they so endeared themselves to me i had to bring them into this project. they were magnificent as any boy of 13 would be with a really big pile of snow. i had a prototype for them to get the visual
and the moved snow
well the snow was dumped on the foot path so we had to mid stream shift the design . sitting ali babba become reclining ali today more work ensues with my high school art class drug and alcohol rehabbies, they are beautiful too!
